Our Microfiber fabrics are lightweight, resilient and resist wrinkling, have a luxurious drape and body, retain shape, and resist pilling (the formation of little balls of fiber caused by fabric abrasion). Also, they are relatively strong and durable in relation to other fabrics of similar weight.

Properties of Microfibers
Because microfibers are so fine, many fibers can be packed together very tightly. The denseness results in other desirable properties. With many more fine fibers required to form a yarn, greater fiber surface area results making deeper, richer and brighter colors possible.

Our microfibers are washable and dry quickly in the dryer and never shrink, as they repel water. Yet, the spaces between the yarns are porous enough to breathe and wick away moisture.

To provide a measure for comparison, microfibers are half the diameter of a fine silk fiber, one-third the diameter of cotton, one-quarter the diameter of fine wool, and one hundred times finer than human hair. The many fine fibers packed together create a depth and a body to fabrics from which they are made.

Although fine and lightweight, they don't exhibit a flimsy quality. The many tiny filaments or fibers can slide back and forth and maneuver around within the yarns in a fabric allowing the fabric to flow and drape freely, yet still possess body.

Each of the individual strands can move independently to create more flexibility or pliability. This effect occurs uniquely with micro-fibers. Each of the many very fine fibers moves independently to create lovely drape, yet the fine fibers can be packed together tightly for body in a fabric.
